Hey Chris, do you think one of those 99 cent tire pressure gauges could be used to check the fuel pressure on a shrader valve? I'll have to try that someday. By the way I got Sylvester to pass the emissions test and back on the road for under $50.
The tire valve stem is smaller than a schrader valve.
Harbor Freight has that test pressure kit on sale for around $20 every now and then.

Good on Sylvester, what was wrong?
